I have to say I would love to see Leroux's novel be made into an actual opera. I'm rather surprised that it hasn't been done yet. As been stated, the musical adaptations, including ALW's masterpiece, do not count as operas. In what language will the lyrics be written?

Man, I know this thread was written two years ago but I'm anxious to hear how it's going. I have limited high school level experience in violin! Please say that you have something cool planned for my instrument if you aren't planning on using the Resurrection Of Lazarus in the graveyard scene!?
